The solution

Translate, proofread and approve online — right in the layout

InTO closes the gap between translation agency and DTP studio. Text is translated directly in your InDesign or Quark documents — AI-powered, terminologically accurate and true to the layout. The result: finished, print-ready documents instead of raw translation files.

DTP and workflow automation. That translates into −58 % DTP costs and −42 % PM costs.

Hörmann: from pilot phase to a group-wide localisation platform

Hörmann is Europe’s leading manufacturer of doors, gates and frames — with more than 40 languages and thousands of catalogue pages a year. InTO has transformed the entire localisation process.

“With InTO, we have drastically reduced our translation costs while raising quality at the same time. What used to take weeks is now done in days — and across more than 40 languages.”

Stefan Gamm Head of Marketing Communications, Hörmann

What began as a pilot project with a single product catalogue is today the group-wide translation platform for all marketing materials. InTO processes several thousand pages a year — fully automated, quality-assured and cost-transparent.

The invisible cost drivers

The agency invoice is just the tip of the iceberg

Technical documentation and marketing materials cost more than the translation alone. Behind every agency invoice hide manual processes, DTP loops and coordination effort — the real cost drivers.

Manual text fitting

Translated text doesn’t fit the layout — copy-paste, adjust the font size, fix line breaks by hand. For hours, in every language, with every revision.

DTP rework

Every new language version means another DTP round. The agency rebuilds the same document over and over — and invoices it over and over.

PDF correction chaos

Corrections arrive as PDFs with comments, get forwarded by e-mail, retyped in Word and re-entered into InDesign. Version chaos included.

E-mail ping-pong

Translation provider, proofreading, agency, internal marketing — everyone coordinates by e-mail. Every round of feedback costs time and increases the error rate.

Hidden agency invoice

On top of the per-word translation price come DTP hours, project management, correction loops and rush surcharges — often unplanned and hard to control.

No cost transparency

What does language X, document type Y or provider Z cost? Without benchmarks and a breakdown, localisation effort can’t be managed or negotiated.

Typical cost structure — localisation project

DTP & layout adjustment28 %

InTO addresses 65 % of these cost items directly.
